Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

These kind of lights are a big gamble. I'm not even so sure if it's true 26650 or 18650 - text says one thing, pic says another, and the hand held pic looks more like 18650 but hard for me to judge.

Not saying its a deal at all but look at this strange charger!

Pretty sure we have the next plastic BLF GT on our hands:

I saw that and would have tried it out but it was too expensive to gamble on it.

That is different, never seen one that separated the 18650 (2 Slots each), AA’s and AAA’s.

That charger reminds me of this flashlight:

This is not an endorsement for this flashlight either, im sure it sucks. Maybe good for someone’s nuclear bunker.

Charging cells in tight quarters? What could possibly go wrong? Hmm…

This is only safe if you remove (or dont include) any thermal protection. That makes a good plan…

:+1:

I received this today. Its a 26650, Generic 3000mah. its a zoomie as well. Its ok I suppose. I’ll need to do some more testing but for 6.00 its not a bad call.

^+$6 shipping killed it for me

I ordered it. $5.99 shipped with prime.

Does it look like the pic of it in the hand? It's either a very thin tube or that's a giant hand...

Hmmm, looking up the VG10S got me to realize that it really isn’t at all like the VG15S (which I have).
I always overlooked this light because the number was smaller, and I must have felt that was…worse? (Haha, never figured they were different product lines.)
From what I’ve read, it’s a tad brighter, throwier, and warmer than the VG15S - anyone else have a firmer opinion on the VG10S?

Yeah, it’s completely different than the VG15S. Both are shown in my review here. It’s built really solidly and has a ton of heat sinking. $15 sounds like a pretty good price for it. It has a super low moonlight mode if you’re into that kinda thing.

Agreed. Wickedly great light for the money.

Okay, okay, you guys win. Wallet loses this time around, haha.

5.00 - 1.00 coupon on the amazon page. 4.00 shipped with prime…

No battery included. Looks like a zoomie.

I’m sure its 1500lumen… Absolutely.

I have this gem in the 3 color “Sharp Eagle” variation and can give the following observations;

Negatives;
Pressed in tail switch
Thin gauge body tube
Loads of low speed PWM on low mode (color unit is 2 mode each color)
Pill? don’t know, never took it apart.

Positives;
Nice clear lens
Decent threads
Wide flood, lots of slide to zoom
Mine has a nut on back side for tripod mount, on the one listed above they do not show the other side so who knows on that

For $5 its probably worth a shot and good for mod practice if nothing else.
HTH

Just noticed this: if anyone’s planning on buying more than one VG10S, you can apply the code 7O9IXO2X (or whatever’s on the Amazon listing page) during checkout for another 30% off. The savings stack with the coupon!
